Racing under FIA banner costs €18 million

The brand new FIA Formula E Championship, the fully-electric racing series which starts in September, pays €18 million to be endorsed by the FIA, motorsport’s governing body. According to documents seen by The Telegraph, the agreement consist a €3.1 million share of the proceeds from an estimated €15.4 million investment in December in Formula E’s Hong Kong-based parent company, Formula E Holdings (FEH).

Furthermore the British newspaper revealed that the teams will pay each a €50,000 fee to the FIA and will collect €100,000 per race. FEH has a 10-year contract, so it will yield at least €15m for the FIA.
